Some employers will customize a payroll report for you.  They may be able to provide it as a text file, and Excel file, or as a PDF.  It is important that you are clear and precise in what information you require in this report.  You as the auditor must tell the employer what should be in it.  I have seen instances where employers omit pay codes or individuals from these reports because they feel that those pay codes or individuals should not be reported.  The rule of thumb when using a custom report should be that all wages are included (even if you are auditing hours) for each employee.  Then request W-2s for some or all of the employees and reconcile the gross wages on the custom report to the W-2 for some employees.  If you cannot reconcile them, there may be pay codes omitted.
